I agree with your objection to funding HIV/AIDS programs in Russia and China; the points you made are valid. But for the rest, I strongly disagree.

AIDS is a lifestyle disease. So, we taxpayers are subsidizing Third Worlders and their social pathologies. Stunning.

I, as a teacher, cannot teach if my required TB test shows "positive", but passage of this bill would allow HIV positive immigrants into this country. I think the US gov't. is in a self-destruct mode.

No one who is HIV positive should be allowed in my country, and I am vehemently against any further funding to third world countries since the money never reaches the sick and the needy. Because of the corruption in the United Nations, any money this country gives to these lowlife countries goes to the war lords and tribal leaders to enrich their decadent lifestyles.

It is time to take a stand AGAINST these loony politicians who want to throw our money away on these HIV boondoggles. Remember in November and vote your local jerk OUT.

Buying the queer vote with OUR money is just another morally and intellectually bankrupt action by The very cynical Left. In reality, they don't give a hoot how many people die. All they want are the votes so they keep their greed-driven bodies firmly bellied up to the taxpayer trough.

Sen Kyl was one of six senators who voted against the Senate bill for war funding and the new GI bill. Why is Kyl now spouting off about money for the GI Bill? What an idiot.

to Anna, Shut up. What of someone who gets AIDS from a blood transfustion during medical treatment or organ transplant? "They" can't be in "your" country? What an absolutely shallow opinion.

Teacher, TB is contagious via air transmission - sneezing, coughing, etc. AIDS is not. If you don't have the ability to do some research to determine medical facts then I'm not sure I want you teaching any children.

We have a bunch of complete bozo's running this country. They want to take 50 billion of your hard earned tax dollars, 50 B they don't really have, because they are printing money faster than mosquitoes multiply, and it's rapidly becoming worthless, and blow it on HIV/Aids in Africa, Russia AND China? Are these people nuts? No wonder we are going down the crapper.

So . . . it has already begun. And it will only get worse if Democrats take the White House and continue to control both houses of Congress.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
